    I purchased Nick Mason's book "Inside Out" this morning. Have to wait for it to ship from the UK. Something to read when I have time :)
    Great book!

    Yup

    Can't wait to get started. But that's going to have to wait another month or so.

    I had my eye on a sealed 4-LP Pulse album.
    Thing sold for $560.
    Needless to say, I didn't get it.

    I just received my copy of Inside Out.
    It's an updated version which includes Nick's reflection of the years since their final performance at Live 8, didn't know it'd be updated so I am super happy.

    ^ ^ I watched disc one of the dvd yesterday for the first time, pretty cool.
    Looking forward to watching disc 2, hopefully today.

    I just finished reading Inside Out.
    Pretty awesome book.
    I only wish Nick discussed the writing/recording of each song on WYWH and Animals. 
    Roger was such a dictator. Such a shame the band couldn't get along.
    The part I loved was towards the end of the book when Nick was talking about the RNR hall of fame night and how Roger wasn't there but they did a live cross on the big screen and Nick likened it to something out of Big Brother or North Korea hahaha

    Finally got around to listening to The Division Bell and A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
    I cannot get into the latter, the former is awesome.
    Still prefer Roger's lyrics though.

    Gilmour’s wife wrote the best late-era, Waters-less Floyd lyrics.

    I haven’t read it. But how sad is it that even Nick Mason thinks that?

    I find it sad that David Gilmour is not a good lyricist.
    Damn, if only they made more albums together.

    Poles Apart is a fantastic song on The Division Bell. My favourite.

    Not a fan of The Final Cut.
    Listened to it yesterday for the first time.

    I spent many years in Cambridge, so Floyd's music carries a lot of personal resonance with me. My brother went to the same school as Syd and Roger (albeit several years later), and from what I can gather Another Brick in The Wall pretty much nailed the environment of the place.
